Back to Barton Fink: A Serious Man

Everyone’s blogging about this, so I thought I’d repost the trailer too. At the end of the trailer the Coen brothers’ most famous films are listed (Raising Arizona, No Country For Old Men, etc.). But the most important for this film — Barton Fink — is missing! Of course, most people haven’t seen it, I suppose. But when I watch this trailer, I think of Barton, and I suspect A Serious Man, like the early nineties strange bit of cinema, will be just as novel.
